Extremely happy, because one's goals have been attained, one's dreams have been fulfilled and because present happiness is expected to linger on and on...

Slang for an experienced bike mechanic.
It takes several years to become a shop rat. Only after spending thousands of hours building bikes, building wheels, rebuilding suspension forks and shocks, setting up derailleurs, replacing bottom brackets, rebuilding hubs, matching chainrings/cranksets/cassettes, and bleeding every type of hydraulic brake system does one become a shop rat.
A shop rat is the guy/gal you want to talk to about your bike's issues. They've seen every possible problem a million times over and know how to fix it professionally and quickly. They also know secret repair tricks that you'll never find in a service manual or on YouTube.
The opposite of a Tool Box Ted.

I spent 10 years as a shop rat in a Colorado bike shop.
The main Pinkbike guys all used to be shop rats for something like 10+ years before their current jobs.

A large strip mall in Agoura Hills, CA that acts as the "shopping mall" of the area. Mainly because the mall companies wouldn't be caught dead building an actual mall in this crappy of an area. It is full of stores and businesses that closedown within a week either because of horrible business management, crushing business taxes, or shoplifted blind by the wannabe-gangsta kids of the neighborhood. During the day it is crowded with brainless girls doing tik-toks with Starbucks in hand, and at night it's crowded with the wannabe-gangstas that go to Agoura High and drunk college kids (that don't even live ANYWHERE in the area) that throw bottles at you if you get too close. (Speaking from experience).
"Did you hear what happened at the twin oaks shopping center?"
"Was there a fire? Did someone get shot? Just tell me all ready..."

Shop Sell Trade is a business model in which a store gets its inventory by purchasing daily from its customers. It is the best way to provide an exciting and changing shopping selection. Shop Sell Trade resale shops help you fill your closet with expensive name brand clothing without forking over too much cash. SHOP the great deals after you TRADE the stuff you aren't wearing for store credit. Or....SELL your cool stuff for cash if you don't care about wearing those sweatpants a few more times (but, really, those sweatpants are ugly. Ditch them for some new ones. Jeeesh!) Twice As Nice is a popular Shop Sell Trade fashion chain.
"I always choose Shop Sell Trade stores for the best deals. They give me store credit to spend when I clean my closets!"

The only way to describe anyone who is acting so strange, or outta pocket, you just don't know what else to call it.
Whenever I pull out the big joes from the closet, people always get this funny look on they face. They shopping weird as hell.
My mom told me I need to get out her parking spot, for no reason.. wow mom, you shopping weird.
